Prof. Zulfikar Polat

I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was getting frustrated. Then I saw Prof. Polat. He didn't just listen to my latest symptoms; he went back through all my old notes, asked questions no one else had. He connected dots I didn't even know were there. It turned out to be something pretty rare with my pancreas. The way he explained it, with simple drawings, made a scary situation feel manageable. He figured out what others missed.

I needed a colonoscopy and, like most people, I was dreading it. The prep was no fun, I'll be honest. But the day of, at Anadolu, everything just worked. The nurses were calm and told me exactly what to expect. When Prof. Polat came in, he cracked a small joke that actually made me relax. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. Waking up, I felt fine, and he came by with the clear results before I left. It was just a routine check, but they made it feel straightforward and easy.

My husband was the patient, but I spent a lot of time in the hospital with him. The place itself at Anadolu Medical Center just feels less stressful. Big windows, quiet halls. What really stood out was the team. The front desk staff helped me sort out some paperwork confusion without making me feel like a bother. One of the nurses, seeing I looked tired, brought me an extra coffee. It's those small things. Prof. Polat was great, but the supportive atmosphere the whole team created made a tough week much easier to handle.

Look, I was nervous. Hospitals make me anxious. But from the moment Prof. Polat walked in, he had this calm, present way about him. He sat down, didn't look at the clock. He asked about my work, my family, not just my blood pressure. When he explained my treatment plan, he checked my face to see if I was really understanding. It felt like talking to a very smart, kind uncle who also happens to be a brilliant doctor. That personal touch, him remembering little things I'd said, made me trust him completely.
